‘Smiths’ get signed

They record something ‘Peculiar’

Former members of The Smiths Mike Joyce and Andy Rourke, have recorded an album for Blackburn College’s label On Song.

The duo play on the new album by singer Vinny Peculiar, and are set to release the ’The Fall And Rise Of Vinny Peculiar’ on the label.

The album is the first to be released through On Song.

Joyce, Rourke and [/B]Vinny Peculiar[/B] played a gig at the college on Wednesday night (21 June) to mark the occasion, reports the BBC 6 Music.

The media centre of Blackburn College doubles as a recording studio and the likes of Louie and Shack have recorded there.

The media centre’s course co-ordinator said: “When you say college label, people tend to think it’s a bit ‘Mickey Mouse’, but actually we have all the resources - more than most indie labels.”
